Interupted Tale

This is the fourth book in The Incorrigible Children of
Ashton Place and I think that that they just keep getting better.By the time this book starts the children who
were raised by wolves, Alexander, Beowulf and Cassiopeia, have started acting
more like normal children, although their speech is still punctuated with barks
and howling and they still have the urge to chase small creatures, especially
chickens.Penny Lumley, their governess,
has just turned sixteen and has been feeling slightly homesick for her school
when an unexpected invitation arrives.She has been invited to speak at the Swanburne Academy and to bring her
charges with her.However, Miss Lumley
is to find that not everything is the same at the Academy and that not all the
changes are necessarily for the better.With the help of the children, Miss Lumley sets out to find a way to
restore the Academy and uncover the mysteries behind the changes, and perhaps
some of the mysteries surrounding Ashton Place at the same time.A really great addition to the series, kids
who like funny books and historical fiction will probably like this story.
